OT: LeBron James Will Return to Cleveland.

[Kibitzer]

SI report. First NBA Free Agent domino falls. Who's next?

Somehow, "I'm takin' my talent to Euclid" doesn't have quite the same ring to it.

 

[wallman]

That must have been some apology.

 

[CTyankee]

I'm coming home...

Should be set to the music of the Rocky Horror Show... "I'm going home."

A better Decision and handled better.

Northeast Ohio needs him more than S. Florida does.

The news dominated all the ESPN channels all day. Wonder if Cleveland will trade Wiggins for Kevin Love?

. A "Big Three" of LeBron, Love, and Irving, excites the hell out of me. I'd Love to see that!

I'm glad Cleveland got the boost it needed. I'm going to be VERY intrigued by the wild reception LeBron receives in his first home game in Cleveland.

 

[wallman]

I was hoping Love would come back west but I would follow that guy wherever he plays.

Love it!! Whether LeBron got no help...a little help...or a ton of help on that statement, it was a grand slam in tone. Heck: even our Presidents have speech writers to help them.

I love that song.

I love that song.

What about Movement #2 (Largo) of Dvorak's "Symphony From the New World"? The haunting English horn solo was given words and has been sung as an enduring spiritual:

"Goin' home, goin' home. I'm a-goin' home.
Goin' home, goin' home. I'M A-GOIN' HOME!"​

(English horn players wait and wait and wait -- like Cleveland sports fans -- season after season after season, until the Dvorak masterpiece is programmed. When that moment comes, they cherish it.)

Yep, Dan Gilbert probably groveled his arse off.

He's got a political PR guy, so I'm pretty sure none of it was not orchestrated. Most managed athlete of our time.

Supposedly SI writer Lee Jenkins interviewed LJ to help him write the piece, then wordsmithed his documentation of the interview to LaBron's approval.

When I see "I'm going home" in reference to music, I think of Ten Years After at Woodstock.

Bosh got a nice deal out of it too.
